Path of the Empress
The Path of the Empress charts the rise of Wu Zhao, the
only woman who ever ruled China. Wu’s intelligence
and erotic aura, combined with her understanding of
the Chinese arts of war, paved the way for her to
become the most powerful woman in the Orient.
In this remarkable book, Christine Li, who studied
Western medicine before delving into the traditional
Chinese medicine, uncloaks this forgotten woman and
what she was taught by her adviser, Sun Simiao, and in
doing so reveals the 10 important stages of a woman’s
life and what exercises and elixirs that a woman needs
to open her mind and soul to new insights. $24.99.No diets allowed!

Smile – even if you don’t mean it.
Your body immediately releases
endorphins when you smile,
even when you force it. It’s
a great way to quickly boost
your mood, plus smiling is
contagious, so you’ll be
helping others, too!PHOTO: WARREN GOLDSWAIN/SHUTTERSTOCK.COMyj43_14-15_in the now.indd 17 31/03/2015 8:36 am
